Explore the dynamic interplay between religion and daily life in India with “Studies in Religion and the Everyday.” This compelling collection delves into how contemporary Indian events, particularly since the 1990s, have reshaped religious beliefs and practices. Scholars historicize and critically examine the concept of religion, moving beyond singular definitions to understand the historical, political, and discursive forces that constitute the ‘religious’ in specific contexts. Featuring diverse methodological approaches, this book offers fresh perspectives on cities, capital, minorities, secularization, and the state, demonstrating their co-production with religion. Ideal for general readers, students, and researchers, “Studies in Religion and the Everyday” provides an indispensable introduction to religion in India, moving past traditional lenses of identity and conflict.
